Chapter 133 The Advantage of Being a Wife

When such a thing happened, even if Wei Hengyan was serving illnesses in the Fangyin Pavilion, Empress Ji could not prevent her from going there to ask the ins and outs.

Unexpectedly, the Queen's people came to the Fangyin Pavilion to explain the situation, but the Queen Mother Yuan ordered Yun Fenghuang to accompany Wei Hengyan to reply: "There is a dipping willow watching from Ai's house. This is a big matter, so Mao Zhaoyi will go together." Well, if there is any accident, I can send a letter to Aijia."

The Empress Dowager said indifferently, "The Ai family just wants to entertain their grandchildren and enjoy some family happiness. This is something that everyone in the world can have. Why is it so difficult here?"

The group of people didn't dare to make a sound, and after a while, Yun Fenghuang still said softly: "The concubine will accompany sister Wei to the empress's place right now, you can relax, even if Hu Fengyi is gone, there is still Yue Jieyu , Zhao Chenggui and Yi Yuwan. In a few days, there will be many heirs who are filial to you."

Only then did the maid sent by the empress dare to say timidly: "To my kind mother, the empress dowager, there is actually some good news: Ji Yuwan is happy."

"You will send some things there according to the rules." Mrs. Yuan said to Zhan Liu without a smile on her face, "The family is exhausted."

Zhanliu hurriedly said: "My servant will help you in."

... After leaving the door of the Fangyin Hall, Yun Fenghuang asked the maid: "Ji Yuwan is said to have been following the Empress Dowager these days, so how many months must she be pregnant? Why are you saying it now?"

The maid lowered her head: "The servant girl doesn't know either."

Yun Fenghuang didn't make things difficult for her, and turned his head to Wei Hengyan, who was pale, and said, "Don't worry, although you haven't been the host for a long time, you should know what's going on in Yijia Palace... Huh Feng Yi is gone alone, whoever is suspicious is reliable, just think about it, it will be easy to talk to the empress later."

Wei Hengyan was dazed for a moment before she realized that this meant that she took this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and clean her eyeliner—but she forced a smile, but she was a little absent-minded: she felt that it was really difficult and dangerous for a concubine to be pregnant in this palace, even if Noble such as a noble concubine can't escape the disaster of miscarriage, such as Hu Fengyi, how many people were envious of him two days ago, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye!

Although before entering the palace, he had heard a series of rumors about the death of concubines after pregnancy, but after all, he did not witness it with his own eyes.

And this Hu Fengyi is a member of Yijia Palace, and he often greets Wei Hengyan in front of Wei Hengyan on weekdays. Wei Hengyan's impression of her is that she is a low-key and silent concubine who is almost cowardly, and she rarely has any sense of presence. In terms of appearance in the palace, it is not particularly outstanding, but a pair of eyebrows and eyes are particularly good.

The eyebrows are not drawn but black, shaped like distant mountains, tactfully entering the temples, the eyes are rare double phoenix eyes, the corners of the eyes are slightly hooked, and there is a charming and romantic look.

Emperor Yuemo also summoned her several times because of her coquettishness, but he still didn't remember her name very much.

Being able to be happy is purely Hu Fengyi's own blessing.

But this blessing is now killing her...

Wei Hengyan's heart was in a mess, looking at Yun Fenghuang with the usual expression on his side, he suddenly envied her.

Although the master will not be pregnant, she will not fall into such danger.

Of course, she snuffed out the idea of ​​imitating her as soon as she came out.

A well-raised child may be no different from a biological one. Chunjia now cares more about Queen Mother Yuan than Queen Mother Qu, and more. But there is also a saying in the market that dog meat cannot be pressed on sheep.

If he was chasing a white-eyed wolf, he would die of anger just thinking about it.

Of course, there are those who are not filial, but at least you can comfort yourself that this is a fateful thing and there is no way around it.

Standing on someone else's child, who I worked so hard to raise, but raised an enemy... that kind of feeling...

She was thinking wildly along the way, and almost forgot to salute when she arrived in front of the queen, but she was bumped by Yun Fenghuang calmly, and then bent down tremblingly.

"Get up." Empress Ji's face was exhausted and her complexion was very bad. It's no wonder that three concubines in the palace had accidents during their pregnancy this year alone, except for Zhao Chenggui who is still pregnant. In addition, the imperial concubine had a miscarriage, and Hu Fengyi died directly - in such a situation, if the emperor did not come to question the queen, the queen herself would feel ashamed.

At this moment, he had no intention of finding fault with Wei Hengyan's disrespect, and asked her directly about Dan Ruoting's recent situation.

Wei Hengyan told what he knew, and finally asked about the disappearance of Hu Fengyi: "The concubine has been serving the sick in the Fangyin Hall these days, but I don't know what happened to Hu Fengyi?"

"It is said that after she was pregnant, she was afraid of the cold in the mountains, and asked people to burn charcoal to keep warm at night." Empress Ji glanced at her, and said calmly, "As a result, because the doors and windows were closed...the whole house was gone, including the master and servants. "

Yun Fenghuang said in disbelief: "It's still hot now, the nights in the mountains are cool, but why do you want to burn charcoal?"

The queen said: "I also think it is very suspicious! I just asked Dan Ruoting's steward, and the steward said that he was puzzled when Hu Fengyi asked for a charcoal basin, and he checked it repeatedly. But the big palace lady in front of Hu Fengyi Insisted, and said that Wei Jieyu had told Hu Fengyi before going to the Fangyin Hall that he should try his best to satisfy everything he wanted, so the manager didn't dare to refuse, so he had to send someone to find a charcoal basin from the bottom of the mountain."

And because he was afraid of being charged with "not taking good care of the pregnant concubine and neglecting the emperor's heir", the steward even made a special effort to use the silver frost charcoal that only concubines were entitled to enjoy.

This kind of charcoal is like hoarfrost, smoke-free and difficult to extinguish, and it is the best way to keep warm in winter—and because of the smoke-free, after Hu Fengyi's maid took the charcoal basin back, even if there were other palace concubines living next door Didn't find any of this. The next morning, Wei Hengyan was still Wei Hengyan's maid staying at Dan Ruoting. She was ordered to visit Hu Fengyi every morning. Seeing that the doors and windows were closed and no one answered when she knocked on the door, she became suspicious and called for someone to come over and knock the door open. Only then did I realize that the masters and servants inside had lost their breath.

Yun Fenghuang frowned and asked: "Your Majesty, what's the matter with Hu Fengyi's Great Palace Maid?"

"The big palace lady..." Empress Ji was silent for a while, and then slowly continued, "It was Chunjia who was sold into the palace by Ren Yazi in the first year of Chunjia. Before that, she had been cleaning in Yijia Palace. Going to serve Hu Fengyi, until now. I just asked the people in Dan Ruoting, and they all said that the master and servant are usually cautious in words and deeds, and basically have no contact with the outside world. But..."

Wei Hengyan was worried that the pot would hit him, so he hurriedly asked, "But what?"

"One of the servants said that he saw that big court lady talking to... the person in front of Yue Jieyu in the back mountain." Empress Ji pursed her lips, "Of course, this is just a one-sided statement from the servant."

It's not that the Ji family didn't want to take advantage of the situation to give Yuan Niangniang a ride.

However, when the Empress Dowager Yuan fell ill this time, the attitude of the Empress Dowager herself and the emperor was already very clear: before the birth of the child, all mistakes made by Yuan Niangniang could be temporarily tolerated.

And since this period of time, Chunjia has become more and more indifferent to the Ji family.

The queen thought that there should be no more actions to provoke the young emperor at this moment—so at this moment she sincerely wanted to find out the truth.

But after a little research, it has something to do with Yuan Niangniang.

Empress Ji was also heartbroken, so she said to Yun Fenghuang: "Empress Yuan's mother is still recovering from illness, this word must not reach her ears, I'm afraid her old man will worry about it. You should pay attention to this matter, don't call Fangyin The people in the museum talked nonsense after hearing it. But it is His Majesty, you go and say it yourself, and speak slowly, lest His Majesty get angry."

So it is still good to be a regular wife, the good news will be reported by myself, and the bad news will be sent to the side room...

Yun Fenghuang slandered, but had no choice but to accept the order: "Yes."

The Fangyin Hall is easy to manage, just explain to Zhanliu, and Yunfenghuang is not responsible for the specifics.

As for Emperor Chunjia...

Yun Fenghuang made a special trip back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, freshened up and dressed up before arriving at Xingxintang.

Although the location of Xingxintang is also in the north of Changling, belonging to the harem side, it follows the ups and downs of Changling, and it is almost built on Changling.

It can be regarded as a sign to divide the palace from the front to the harem.

When she arrived, Gong Xiangxiao and Deng Chengzhai came out one after the other, and bowed quickly when they saw this.

"Is Your Majesty in there?" Yun Fenghuang asked casually, holding Qing Du's hand.

Deng Chengzhai did not speak, and Gong Xiangxiao remained silent.

The scene was awkward in the silence for a moment, and finally Deng Chengzhai coughed dryly: "Going back to your mother, His Majesty is dealing with government affairs."

"I have something to report." Yun Fenghuang nodded and said, "In that case, the two of you will go, and I will also go in."

She went in and asked the servant to inform her, and soon Yan Yin came out to greet her in person, led her through the corridor and entered a study room, turned around the 20-fold floor-to-ceiling huanghuali carved screen with auspicious cloud patterns, inlaid mica, silk, and gold woven gold ladies. I saw that the ground was paved with azurite bottom pinched with gold rims and twined branches of plum lotus. In front of it was a small marble gilt round table with four bean, green, blue and white Taishao lion pattern hydrangea pier. On the table was a set of golden gemstones Crane Fushou pot and cup.

A few freshly folded pomegranate flowers are inserted in a porcelain plum vase with a blue and white lion pattern and a cover, which complements the engraved huanghuali carved four-season flower pattern lattice heart as a partition.

Through Gexin, Chunjia could be seen behind the big desk in the inner room, with her head lowered, concentrating on a memorial.

There is also a stack of feet high on the desk.

Yan Yin asked softly: "Your Majesty, but the Empress Dowager's side...?"

"The empress dowager is all right, but it is a matter of the harem, involving the emperor's heir." Yun Fenghuang asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty now?"

"There is important news about the rebellion in the Three States, Your Majesty has to give instructions immediately." Yan Yin invited her to sit down at the small round table, made tea by herself, and said in a low voice, "I would like to ask your mother to stay here for a while."

Yun Fenghuang nodded: "The business is important, it should be."

She had arranged for the two concubines to come and stay here for a short time, so that they could serve her bed, but she hadn't been here yet, so while she was waiting, she couldn't help but look around.

But because there is only such a small place, and the furnishings are well-regulated, there is nothing unusual about it, and it feels boring after a while.

However, the emperor may feel that the matter is difficult and needs to be carefully considered, so he didn't come out for a long time.

Waiting and waiting, she couldn't help but focus on those few pomegranate flowers...

When the emperor came out at noon, he saw a pile of petals and leaves on the small round table, all neatly torn off from the branches, and two piles were piled up separately. The corners of his eyes twitched, and he lightly reprimanded: "You can't do that!" There is no safe time!"

"Your Majesty, this concubine panicked because I didn't know how to tell you about today's matter, and that's why I became like this unknowingly." Yun Fenghuang didn't take his words to heart, stood up and said, " Hu Fengyi... is gone."

Emperor Chunjia had expected the result of Hu Fengyi early on, so he hadn't been to Danruoting during this period of time, because he was afraid that after seeing Hu Fengyi, he would have feelings for the child, and it would be sad when the bad news came.

He had already planned this way, obviously he was mentally prepared from the very beginning, so naturally he wouldn't be too sad at the moment—at most, he was a little angry, and some of this anger was for his own flesh and blood and his concubine who had just lost. Some of it is because he, as the emperor, has not been able to truly Yuji Yunei so far, probably only the emperor himself knows in his heart.

If Empress Ji came to report the news, the emperor might make use of it.

But since it's Yunfenghuang who came...

Chunjia looked calm, and only asked: "Why not?"
